Cross Sell Opportunity Finder
Read-only: identifies products with high single-purchase rates that could benefit from cross-sell pairing based on category and price affinity.
shopify-admin-cross-sell-opportunity-finder
Purpose
Finds products that are almost always purchased alone (single-item orders) and identifies potential cross-sell partners based on category affinity, price complementarity, and customer overlap. While frequently-bought-together finds existing patterns, this skill finds MISSING patterns — products that SHOULD be cross-sold but aren't. Read-only — no mutations.
Prerequisites
shopify store auth --store --scopes read_orders,read_products read_orders, read_productsParameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| store | string | yes | — | Store domain |
| days_back | integer | no | 180 | Order lookback window |
| solo_threshold | float | no | 70 | % of orders where product is bought alone to flag as "solo" |
| min_orders | integer | no | 10 | Minimum orders for a product to be analyzed |
| format | string | no | human | Output format: human or json |

Workflow Steps
orders — query Inputs: query: "created_at:>=', first: 250, select lineItems { product { id, title, productType, vendor }, quantity, originalTotalSet }, pagination cursor
Expected output: All orders with product data
products — query (enrichment)Inputs: Product IDs for solo items and potential partners
Expected output: Product type, vendor, price, collections for affinity matching

Session Tracking
Claude MUST emit the following output at each stage. This is mandatory.
On start, emit:
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ SKILL: Cross-Sell Opportunity Finder ║
║ Store: <store domain> ║
║ Started: <YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM UTC> ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝
After each step, emit:
[N/TOTAL] <QUERY|MUTATION> <OperationName>
→ Params: <brief summary of key inputs>
→ Result: <count or outcome>
On completion, emit:
For format: human (default):
══════════════════════════════════════════════
CROSS-SELL OPPORTUNITY REPORT (<days_back> days)
Products analyzed: <n>
High solo-rate products: <n>
─────────────────────────────
TOP CROSS-SELL OPPORTUNITIES:
"<product A>" (solo rate: <pct>%, <n> orders)
→ Suggested partner: "<product B>" (same vendor, complementary type)
→ Price fit: $<main> + $<partner> = $<combined>
→ Potential AOV lift: +$<amount> per order
Revenue opportunity: $<total> (if <pct>% of solo orders add partner)
Output: cross_sell_opportunities_<date>.csv
══════════════════════════════════════════════
Output Format
CSV file cross_sell_opportunities_ with columns:
product_id, product_title, total_orders, solo_orders, solo_rate, suggested_partner_id, suggested_partner_title, affinity_type, potential_aov_lift
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
THROTTLED | API rate limit exceeded | Wait 2 seconds, retry up to 3 times |
| All multi-item orders | Store naturally has high cross-sell | Report as healthy — no action needed |
| Small catalog | Too few products for meaningful pairs | Suggest expanding catalog |
